Hello friends. I hope your week has been going well. Hubby was away again and usually that means my days feel much longer but it also means that I don’t have to shower or cook elaborate meals.I think he would argue the ‘elaborate meals’ part. Ha
But is it just me or do meals seem a little more relaxed when your partner is away?
I’m also excited for him to see our new tan leather sofa.
Surprise honey!!! Actually, he knew that my friends from Article and I had partnered again and he loves this couch as much as I and Brody do.
I knew that the contrast between the tan leather and the dark shelves would look great. I love the look and it reminds me of an old cigar room. Even though I’ve never been into a cigar room, I think this is what it would look like. ha
I also added a few logs of birch firewood to the bottom shelves. I’m very tempted to do the entire right side. I’m not too sure yet. I was worried about little critters in the wood. There was no ‘visible’ bugs and I sprayed the wood with bug spray outside prior to bringing it in. Fingers crossed. (Also, after seeing these photos I’m convinced that I will be painting the baseboards the same color of the shelf.)
You can find the lamp HERE
We had two leather couches while the kiddies were growing up and I know first hand how practical they are when it comes to being long lasting and resistant. Our kiddies are older now so I don’t have to worry about that but
in case you were considering a new leather couch. I can certainly recommend this one. It’s super comfortable, soft and big enough to lay on and great price point.
I kept the gray on the other side and I like that it tones things down. We have plans to do some pretty moulding to this side of the room and I can’t wait to get it done and share it with you.
That amazing blanket ties it all together don’t you think?
I love the lines on this couch because it’s not toooo modern or too traditional. It’s just right.
I also like how it coordinates with the rug.
You can find the coziest alpaca blanket HERE. It’s also from Article.
Here’s another look at the logs. What do you think, should I do the entire wall or do you think it would be too much brown?
I also have to consider that I might place the Christmas tree there and I’m going for a more elegant Christmas look in this room this year so it might be too much of a clash? hmmm.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.
much love,
I think the amount of wood on the shelves is just right. I might be tempted to use less even because of the chance of termites. The couch and coffee table look great together, same tapered legs, but you already knew that! Love the floor lamp! Would appreciate if you could provide the source.
So gorgeous. Love the dark wall and the couch and I think that is the right amount of wood 😉
Looks beautiful! I would leave the wood at the level it is now. Looks like Brody knows how handsome he looks with the new decor! Could you please supply a source for the plaid blanket? Thanks!
It looks wonderful. I love the lines and how timeless it is. Plus the contrast against the dark grey is my favorite. It pops in the room..
Cognac is my very favorite leather color. It loves so pretty and inviting with the dark walls.
What a change, in a world of light and bright you my friend step away and created a room of gray, wood, and browns.
Beautiful changes.

Just lovely! I have dark wooden shelving on either side of our wooden fireplace, and am now tempted to paint them. I have been debating colour for a while now (four years!! ). White? Off white? Black? Dark grey? The inner debate continues…. Just wanted to drop a quick first time note to say how much I enjoy your blog. You are truly talented. I think your decision to colour the baseboard on that wall is a good one. It will help make everything look more built in and custom. I agree with the general consensus about the amount of stacked wood. Could your Christmas tree go where your fiddle leaf is? They are pretty hardy plants and can handle less light for quite a while. We close up our house in December and head to Florida until April, and our fig and all other house plants go in our ensuite for months with minimal light. It’s the only room we keep fairly warm while we are away (plants are placed on counter, in tub, and shower for easy watering by family who check on place).
that couch is stupendous. i have loved that version from article for awhile and it looks fantastic in your room. cigar room yes but also great wine room…….
My thoughts are:\ Everything Is Gorgeous!!!!!
Loving the new look Lucy. I think the wood is the perfect amount.
The amount of wood is just right in my opinion. I totally agree with your leather couch comment. I have one very similar to yours and it is so comfortable and its style will look great many years from now.
It’s besutiful! The wood looks perfect like it is I think. Do you have a link for sofa or coffee table? Can’t wsit to see your tree up in there. Is that a new dining table with the white plates? I must have missed the post when you changed the white one. I wish we had thst store Canadian Tire here. Can you tell me if the Midnight paint is flat or eggshell?I can’t tell in the picture.
I too would like to know where to get that plaid blanket. It would go perfect in my family room. Also, in the pictures of the vases with the tree stems, are they real and if so how long do they last?
The dark walls, shelves, leather sofa with the faded area rug is absolutely a combo. And I can’t wait to decorate my flat like this. I love the way you blended all those, It’s Perfect, Lucy 🙂

You have the absolute best style! I loved your house light and airy and may love it even more dark and moody! I’d leave the amount of wood and definitely paint the baseboards dark.
I e your living room and this dark color so much! It looks great with the sofa and Christmas tree . Did you say what color the paint is ? If you did I. Can’t find it now. Would you tell me what the color is . I’ve been wanting to paint mine and this color is so great????
I am also interested in the grey paint color. I am curious….I have not seen any answers to any of the questions….you send them directly to the person who asks the question? I find many of the questions interesting and would love to see the response.
Can you post a link for the rug?
Did she ever let you know where the rug is from?
Anyone ever find out where the rug is from?
Lol, so 2 years later I’m still waiting for the link to this rug. This entire look is amazing!
Has anyone heard back on the rug? I really want this rug!!
I like the sofa very much, but I’m curious why you dont mention in your review that you were given a deep discount on the price of the couch on exchange for promoting it.
Gorgeous! Where are these pillows from in the pic? Specifically the tribal black and creme striped one?
It’s a good sofa and the style is so amazing!
I’m curious to know where the rug is from?
I liked it better when it was white! But the couch is beautiful

Did she ever get back to you on the reg?
Hey! I’ve had my eye on a couch like this from article for a while but am so nervous to order online without ever sitting In it! Thanks for your feedback! Also, LOVE the rug. Could you share where you purchased it?
We now have a leather sofa but it is many years old and I want to change it and think about buying a Chesterfield sofa. I’ve never noticed myself before, but I like velour fabric, it gives something a special elegance. What do you think about this?
I agree with others! Can you share the paint color and where the rug is from?? Just bought my first house and itching to plan how to style it !!
Can you pls tell me which dark gray paint color this is?
Has anyone heard back on the paint color? Thanks!
Closes one I’ve found is called Cityscape by SW. The Canadian Tire Midnight she said she used isn’t available anymore.
I am looking for where the rug is from as well and the paint color. Whole look is fabulous
What color paint is that on the walls and shelving????
I love the design! I would love to know where the rug is from!! Can you share please? And what’s the color of the wall paint? Thanks! It’s beautiful.

Hi! Love the room and colors. Can you share the
Paint color please? Thank you!
Lovely work, you should start it as a business and include it as My business listing. Marvelous.
The leather sofa looks truly luxurious. Unfortunately, even it can lose its softness and elasticity over time. If your furniture has lost its original appearance, do not rush to throw it away and buy a new piece of furniture. You can reupholster your sofa yourself and give it a new life.
